At first, he thought Jasmim wasn’t an old mage, but according to the time markers of her story, they were practically the same age. Yet, something didn’t add up. In the end, her soul was relatively younger than her true essence.

"You’re a reincarnation, aren’t you?" Kayden guessed, and Jasmim’s expression revealed the truth to him. Now everything made sense; the age of her soul matched only this life and not her past ones.

"What does that matter to you?" the woman retorted sharply. She was ready to start a fight, but...

"Nothing. I’m sorry for not being there when you needed me. I never knew you existed," Kayden’s words dismantled any animosity in the woman, but...

"Don’t be fake! My mother warned me you were one of the worst scum to ever exist. Not only that, but you cared only about power—so much so that you killed her and dozens of descendants just to carry out your mediocre plans!" the woman exploded after hearing Kayden’s words.

"I swear before the heavens and all beings present that I failed to support you only because I didn’t know of your existence. Not only that, but I promise that your lack of talent in your childhood would never have affected your treatment," Kayden declared, his voice steady. The heavens immediately struck a lightning bolt, affirming his words.

Kayden almost laughed inwardly. Being a mage of ten rays allowed him to manipulate people so masterfully that even he was sometimes surprised. Who would dare doubt a promise sworn to the heavens? The only one who might understand was Atlas, but the boy wouldn’t reveal that secret and probably couldn’t, due to the pressure the heavens exerted on him.

A strange silence filled the atmosphere as Jasmim’s entire belief system crumbled in a single moment. She had been taught from childhood to hate her father, to see him as a true villain. She was conditioned to believe he was a monster who cared for nothing but power. But at this moment, Kayden demonstrated something completely different.

Her mind, usually a fortress worthy of note, was now a tangled web of emotions. This was one of the most complex moments of her life. Kayden had never been a final goal or anything like that—just a secondary thought in her mind. But now, that was broken.

"Then why did you kill my mother and everyone in the Abyss?" Kayden didn’t even flinch as he prepared to tell another lie.

"I had been separated from her for thousands of years and eventually remarried. My new wife gave me two choices: either I killed her, or she would do it. I wanted to spare Milena from any suffering, so in the end, that was the only option." Though his words were blatantly unethical, they were still sincere, at least in the eyes of those present who didn’t know even half the story.

"And the Abyss?"

"I never set foot in that place after leaving it." This time, Kayden told a half-truth, but no one could detect what was off.

"I see. Perhaps we would’ve gotten along if we had met under different circumstances. But right now, you are an enemy to the entire universe, and you cannot continue living." Jasmim raised her aura against her father.

"Solidify your power first, or you’ll simply waste your life in a meaningless battle," Kayden said, his tone calm, unfazed by his daughter’s strength. She was powerful, but not powerful enough to intimidate him.

"And let you escape?" Jasmim was merely fabricating stupid excuses to fight Kayden. She had been raised alongside Netero, with the ultimate goal of defeating him.

In truth, the idea of defeating Kayden had been ingrained in the minds of every mage in the universe. He had become a mythical entity, a destroyer of galaxies. He was the final boss of the universe, a name whispered to terrify children and embolden adults.

"Escape?" Kayden laughed as if hearing a funny joke. "I’ve never hidden." His aura began to rise, pressing against the barrier Jasmim had created in space. "I am above such petty notions." Kayden’s aura proved its superiority, pushing Jasmim’s back by 5 billion kilometers. "Do you want to understand the difference between a demigod and a challenger of gods?" His aura fully unfolded.

A mage who had become one with the universe, a mage who had embedded his very soul into his sixth sense. The pressure he exuded was simply unmatched. All mages felt as if they were trapped in a quagmire of quicksand. Only the absolute pinnacles of both sides of the universe managed to remain above his aura, though even they could feel his overwhelming power.

Jasmim wasn’t afraid of Kayden’s threats. She wanted to test her strength, and this would be the best opportunity she would ever have—a true battle of life and death, with no chance for either side to hold back. Space began to fracture into enormous webs as Jasmim unleashed spatial attacks against Kayden.

The attack was pure distortion of space. Each movement created rifts that devoured surrounding light, making the void tremble. Shards of broken reality spiraled like invisible blades, slicing through the fabric of the cosmos with ruthless precision. Gravitational waves exploded in all directions, bending and breaking everything that dared to exist in their path. It was as if space itself conspired against her target, turning every moment into a field of utter chaos.

Kayden watched all this with absurd calmness. He didn’t even flinch at Jasmim’s attack. Once again, he saw the difference between strength and quality. His daughter was a tenth-realm mage elevated to the level of a demigod, an achievement both insane and unique in the entire universe. But... she didn’t possess the quality of a ten-ray mage. They were two entirely different worlds.

His control over space was insane, his control over his attack was insane, Kayden could feel that the cracks in space were in every instance of space, both in the void and in reality itself, not only that but time was altered being and being left aside so that the attack was able to match a speed much higher than what should be normal.
